Layla is the title track on the Derek and the Dominos album Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs, released in December 1970. It is considered one of rock music's definitive love songs, featuring an unmistakable guitar figure, played by Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, as lead-in. Its famously contrasting movements were composed separately by Clapton and Jim Gordon.  Inspired by Clapton's then-unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend and fellow musician George Harrison, &quot;Layla&quot; was unsuccessful on its initial release.

CHORUS

&quot;Tears in Heaven&quot; is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the 1991 death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a 53rd-story window in his mother's friend's New York City condominium. By all accounts, the death was simply a tragic accident, and Clapton was distraught for months afterwards.This song is one of Clapton's most successful, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S.

Repeat vers 1 and chorus

In 1988, after nine years of marriage to Pattie Boyd, Clapton divorced the model and photographer. This song documents the end of their relationship. Boyd told the Guardian newspaper December 13, 2008 that she was hurt that he should write a song about such a sensitive subject. She said: &quot;The end of a relationship is a sad enough thing, but to then have Eric writing about it as well. It makes me more sad, I think, because I can't answer back.&quot;

San Francisco Bay Blues

Unplugged 

Ebm                 
Without wishing to cause you any pain,
Bbm
I got to push on through, babe,
Ebm
And if I take the chance of seeing you again,
Bbm
I just don't know what I would do, baby.

Ebm
And sometimes I think I'm gonna be just fine;
Bbm
All I got to do is go through it, babe.
Ebm
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind,
Bbm
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe.

Ebm  
You had one chance and you blew it.
Bbm  
You may never get another chance.
Ebm  
You had the floor and you knew it.
Bbm  
You can't blame it on your circumstance.

Ebm
At the risk of causing you a little pain,
Bbm
I'm going to have to forget you, babe,
Ebm
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
Bbm
And you'd do the same again if I let you, babe.

Ebm
I would give anything to hold you in my arms,
Bbm
But you know I can't do that, baby.
Ebm
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Bbm
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it.

Ebm  
You had one chance and you blew it.
Bbm  
You may never get another chance.
Ebm

G                Bm7
It's late in the evening
C                    D
She's wondering what clothes to wear
G               Bm7
She puts on her make-up
C               D
And brushes her long brown hair
C            D        G    D    Em
And then she asks me, do I look alright
          C             D            G     Bm7 C D
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

[Riff]

G          Bm7   C            D
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
G              Bm7   C             D
This beautiful lady, who’s walking around with me
C            D        G      Bm7  Em
And then she asks me, do you feel alright
          C           D         G
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

       Em          C               G
I feel wonderful because I see the love
         Bm7  Em 
light in your eyes
        C            D               C
And the wonder of it all is that you just
          D                        G Bm7 C D
Don't realize how much I love you

[Riff]

G               Bm7
It's time to go home now
C                   D
Cause I've got this aching head
G                 Bm7      C                D
So I give her the car keys and she helps me into bed
C          D        G    Bm7          Em
And then I tell her as I turn out the light
          C                D           G
I said my darling you were wonderful tonight

There is nothing that is wrong in wanting you
              D
to stay here with me.
  A			 
I know you've got somewhere to go but won't you make yourself 
                     D
at home and stay with me? 
  E
And don't you ever leave.

      CHORUS

       A                D
      Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
       E                         A
      Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
       A                             D
      Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
       E                                       A
      I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

 
The sun ain't nearly on the rise
and we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies
love is all that matters, won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.    CHORUS

I long to see the morning light
colouring your face so dre amily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
you can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.  CHORUS

Lay Down Sally

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        G

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us


             F                    C                G

             F                 C                 G

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
